YOUTH ENGAGED IN SERVICE: IMPACT STORIES

Kiski Prep Students Make A Difference Where They Live
December 2007

200 Kiski Prep Students and their 30 teachers and staff performed service in their community on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, completing 12 different service activities within Saltsburg and Indiana County! Volunteer projects included landscaping, painting, cleaning, moving, and general maintenance at places like the Salt Center, Habitat for Humanity of Indiana County, the Salvation Army, Indiana Players, and local churches. A singing performance by Kiski’s Glee Club and crafts took place at the Saltsburg Social Center for seniors. Marcus Muster, Director of Technology and Head Football Coach said, “Because we are in Saltsburg, but not necessarily in the downtown community, it is important for the kids to give back in a good and visible way.” Frank Kowalewski is a student from the area who said, “It shows that you care and are willing to take time out to give back. It makes you appreciate the education you are receiving even more.”
